Pain/Analgesia

Treatment of acute pain 

Pain is a subjective and very complex experience with no objective measurement parameters. The reduction and elimination of pain is important to healthcare professionals and patients alike. Alleviation of pain helps to facilitate painful medical procedures without undue anxiety for the patient which could lead to further injury or exacerbation of their condition. Reducing pain for patients improves the quality of care and can lead to health economic benefits.

Pain can be managed effectively in a variety of therapeutic areas through various analgesic means, including inhalation of a nitrous oxide/oxygen mixture.

ENTONOX – highly effective analgesia 

ENTONOX is a powerful analgesic and has the advantage of a very rapid onset. It is widely used for childbirth, painful procedures in the hospital setting as well as in the ambulance service.

It is fast-acting, self-regulated and is rapidly eliminated from the body once inhalation stops. Extensive experience in the use of ENTONOX has demonstrated that these effects are predictable and reliable; it has proved to be a very safe analgesic with minimal side effects.
